Hi Curious81,I was doubtful of that too, since why would one say reet bhat unless u r refering to 'akshata' as reet bhat.. then i thought may be it is "reeti riwaaj" in short as "reet waaj"... if u r sure it is bhat, i will change it...

Hi Friend, Thanks for the great translation. I have only one suggestion. "Gana got" means the net of all the relatives and family supporters. "Usavala gang got" means the net of the relatives & family supporters is torn" - mohitvw@gmail.com

Here is my humble version of this fantastic song. Written in a format which is easy to understand by all the people of this generation whose life revolves around e-mails and networking sites.

Dear God,

Nobody is rich or poor or big or small at your feet and all our worries reaches your ear. You treat everyone with love and compassion but why have you given me this anguish and agony? I agree that I am lost and there is darkness in the direction I want to go. There is also fear and apprehension raging in me like how a fire rages in a forest. But, you are like my Father, please guide me through this journey as the stage is set and I am ready to pursue my acting career.

We have shed our customs and rituals and taken an oath serve you forever. The stage is set in your courtyard itself and we are solely relying on you to help us perform. I have been rejected by my family and discouraged by my friends and do not have anyone to support me. My body is burning with sorrow just like how this parched land burns with the Sun’s wrath. Give me the strength to fight this fire which is raging inside me and give me the rhythm of acting to my soul.

Even though this fire has destroyed my life and burnt down my farm, I have not lost hope in you. The stage is set, I am ready to begin my acting career, please help me in overcoming these hurdles and to convert this dream into reality.
